interface containing derived type

Hi, 

Is that normal to have the same declaration of type being considered as to different type by the error : 

"The type of the actual argument differs from the type of the dummy argument". 

I attached a testfile.

Thanks.

Unless the specific rules in Article 4.5.1.3, "Determination of derived types", of the Fortran 2003 standard are satisfied, repeating a type definition word for word may still cause the compiler to regard the two types so declared as distinct. When I saw this "feature" the first time, I was surprised, too. However, it does make it easier for the compiler to keep track of user-defined types. The IMPORT ... statement is provided to alleviate the problem that you ran into.
